I've Upgraded, Now Email Issue!

chugger93
I've finally made the switch from 7.102 to 7.4.  I booted from my USB flash drive and all my backup config came over.  So far everything is great!

However, Astaro sends me email alerts of my weekly backups, or failed login attempts, etc etc.  I'm not getting them anymore. In fact, when I check my thunderbird folder where I have a rule setup, my last email alert was from June.  Dunno how I never noticed it.

Anyways, I see in this NEW mail manager --> SMTP Pool --> two emails for example that have a "waiting" alert by them.  If I retry them, they still pop back in there.

What could have changed?  Anything I can check to see why ALL alerts are not being sent out?

Looks like I get alot of this:
Message Delivery Log:
2009-08-29 12:50:00 chu***@comcast.net R=smarthost_route T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host

and this:
2009-08-29 12:04:51 chu***@comcast.net R=smarthost_route defer (-36): host lookup for smtp.comcast.net did not complete (DNS timeout?)
2009-08-29 12:07:00 chu***@comcast.net R=smarthost_route defer (-36): host lookup for smtp.comcast.net did not complete (DNS timeout?)
2009-08-29 12:11:09 smtp.g.comcast.net [76.96.30.117]:25 Connection timed out


Thanks guyys!! [:D]

    Bummer - same problem!  Since a similar problem recently was solved by getting rid of an invalid forwarder, I figured we should check that first. Maybe those forwarders were working for you, and Comcast refuses to provide an answer unless the DNS request comes from the specific IP range it's meant to serve.

    OK, I just reread your first post, and it appears that the problem predates the upgrade; I didn't internalize that until now.

    Maybe Comcast began blocking SMTP traffic in June.  In that case, they would have a Smarthost that you would need to relay SMTP traffic through.  Look in 'Management >> Notifications' on the 'Advanced' tab for the information you'll need from Comcast.

    If that doesn't resolve the problem, then ???

    Cheers - Bob

    Well I do use the smarthost setting in the Mail settings --Advanced Tab at the very bottom. That works fine.  I didnt know about the Management --> Notifications --Advanced Tab?  That something new? Its gotta be.

    I was trying to put in my settings, but theres one issue.  It wants me to add an smtp address.  Does it not take domain names?

    smtp.comcast.net worked fine in the mail settings under smarthost.
